You plunge in the sunny water down

And leave a track of brightness

Torn slantwise in the green and cool

By the spearthrust of your whiteness,

One arm held downward from your face,

Easy as a thought you swim

Through that underwater world,

Green-sunlit, swaying, dim,

To fill the hollow, water swirls

Behind you as you glide,

And yields like air, and pours

Cool along your side.

From your knees the bubbles break

In upward showers of light,

And all around your head the hair

Is floating long and bright.
